  • Ranking the HoF Player: 176-180

    Project Summary: To rank the worthiness of the players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame from most worthy to least worthy.

    Election Format: Voters are to submit ballots ranking their 10 most worthy remaining Hall of Fame players in order of worthiness. Each first place vote will be worth 10 points, with each successive rank being worth one point less than the previous rank, ending in a tenth place vote being worth 1 point. Players will also receive one additional point for each ballot they are listed on and players must be listed on at least three ballots in order to be elected. The five players with the highest support at the end of each election will be elected in the order of their support. Elections will last approximately seven days.
    - Tiebreakers: Tiebreakers at the end of an election will be decided in the following order: 1) Total ballot appearances in that election; 2) Total points in that election irrespective of number of ballots; 3) Number of first place votes in that election; 4) Average ranking on ballots appeared on in that election. Players that lose a tiebreaker for the fifth spot in an election will be voted in as the sixth player in that election, with the next election to elect just four players.

    Factors to Consider: As this project focuses on players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, subjective qualities beyond just statistics should be taken into consideration in determining a player's relative worthiness. In that vein, the voting guidelines that the BBWAA is to follow in actual National Baseball Hall of Fame elections, may be instructive (though not necessarily determinative in this project): "Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."

    Player Eligibility: Only players that have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as players are eligible, including Negro League players and 19th Century players. A complete list of individuals that have been inducted as players is available at the National Baseball Hall of Fame's website, and is recreated below along with each player's corresponding BBF Rank as determined by this project:

    This is a big election as 178 and after mark the bottom 25% of the Hall.

    1) Bob Lemon
    2) Ray Dandridge
    3) Lefty Gomez
    4) Jake Beckley
    5) Sam Rice
    6) Red Faber
    7) Pete Hill
    8) Addie Joss
    9) Vic Willis
    10) Phil Rizzuto

    I think this marks the first vote for Vic Willis. He twice led the league in pitching WAR and ERA+ and has a career WAR of 57.2. Seems like someone we may have overlooked a bit.

    Three players I wanted to vote for but didn't have the space: Tony Perez, Joe Sewell, Rollie Fingers.

                  If you have a chance, could you shed some light on why he shows up at this point? I'm under the impression that he is the worst NeLer in the HOF with the exception of Judy Johnson. Perhaps I'm mistaken and am being too harsh on him.

                    I see him as like George Sisler, but with the peaks and valleys flattened out. For more details, see this thread: http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/...ion/ben_taylor

                    I don't think he's HOF quality, since the peak is what gets Sisler in, but he's a far better hitter than Judy Johnson, even accounting for the difference in position. Johnson had no power and little plate patience--and an average not a lot above what an average MLBer of the time would have gotten. Taylor was stronger than Johnson relative to his peers.

                            I actually envision Taylor as something like Jake Beckley, which is why I have him underneath Beckley in my queue. I've got the four NLers ranked below Taylor, in order from best to worst: Leon Day, Ray Dandridge, Andy Cooper and Judy Johnson.

                            ...which reminds me, I forgot to add Hilton Smith. I edited the waiting list above; the ballot remains the same.

                            One player I've been voting on for some time but haven't been vocal about is Frank Grant. He is an enigmatic player so I understand the low rating. I'm starting to wonder now where he will end up... near the top of the last quartile or at the bottom of the barrel?
